It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
